TIRE OLD MAMsELLEs SECRET. After |
the Germ M of Il, Marlett, author OF "Gold
Elsie" BY Mrs. A. l.. WisrRR, Philadel-
phia j. b. Lippincott Company. 70 cents,
Publishers.
1t takes us into strange places, intro
duces us into curious and romantic life
and we like it. So, probably, will any one
who has trace even Of curiosity in his
or her nature. "Iler," perhaps, is super
0uoue.
The story cannot fail to interest, and the
simple manner Of the telling will be a
charm all along the pages. Another good
thing about 1t lie, that you cannot guess
the coming result Of a single incident. At
least, with our remarkable Imagination
and ingenuity, we couldn't.
THE NEW PRINCETON REVIEW. July. SO
o year. New YORK: A. G. Armstrong Il son,
ia Broadway. Publishers.
New, varied, and sensible articles, as
usual. "Certain Tendencies IN Current
Literature" reveal Indications Of the desire
for life in art. The many suggestions OF
originality In our art are shown by "Ameri-
can Art Since the Centennial" Indeed,
only In this late period may our nation be
said TO have displayed its distinctive genius,
which is Of such character as to excite the
admiration Of the world, II not It's jealousy.
"The Theory OF Prohibition" discriminates
between the true and false grounds on
which It Is based.
"Recollections OF the Due de Broclie" is
a fresh presentation Of French history be-
tween f7S5 and 1869, picturing yividly the
characters Of the restoration and the sue
ceeding monarchies. In Tennyson's poem,
1.-THE Palace" the unfoldings OF his genius
are traced, as exhibited by the changes
made by the poet In his work through sue
cessive Issues. In such composition, es-
pecially, even through twenty or thirty
years, the author will continually retouch,
.Art is long" We sketch, and then try to
finish.
Other attractive and important contribu-
tions are "Literary Criticism, /" "The Minis
ter's Factotum," "Sebastopol In May" and
the editorial division.
IVAN ILYITCH AND OTHER STORIES;
from the Russian by NATHAN HASKELL
DOLE New York Thomas Y. Crowell 4
Co., Is Astor Place. Publishers.
Ten short stories, some with mystical
shapes, but, pondered, relative to Russian
wrongs, and significant Of mans rights.
Sentiments are expressed, here and there,
Of such outrageous disloyalty that wonder
is the czar should allow the publication Of
this volume. Even the question Of regicide
10 discussed in "a Candle" and what Is
supposed proper to do is not left in doubt.
The book deserves and will receive atten-
ton, and richly reward 1t.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. July 0. 10 cents;
$3.50 year. Clark W. Bryan & Co., Spring
field, Mass. Publishers.
So soon as we open the magazine we find
ourselves "In Clover" where Helen Chase
has provided fine entertainment. The poem
| is in large text-type-a good form for all
good poetry; the bad should never materi-
| alize.
or disappearing articles first is "God
Sense in Our Sleeping Rooms" 1t prop
erly condemns want Of ventilation, and
| pushing beds into corners against walls or
| within alcoves. We would live healthier,
happier, and longer II we slept according
to reason. "Saving Steps" comes next;
the importance OF management OF to and
fro in the house. "Washing." Best and
Young Housekeepers," II you would save
labor, worry, ind failure, and provide com
fort for the family. "Mourning" is OBJ
iected to, for eundry excellent "becauses.' -
"Perils Of Good Housekeeping" how to
Danish them, simply by thinking.
Our old friends, the continued papers
are: "Six Cups Of Coffee, ""Molly Bishops
babes, "Care OF Children" ''Meals for the
Many Of Moderate Means" What should
we be without ALTERATION ?-important
both, for newspaper people.
Well-considered editorials, poetry, gas
tronomic and miscellaneous pieces make {
pleasant ending.
